Retaking CCDE Practical Exams

Candidates may only take a beta exam once.

Candidates who do not pass the CCDE practical exam can retake it during the next scheduled exam administration.

Candidates must reattempt the exam within 12 months of their last scored attempt in order for their CCDE written exam to remain valid.

If a candidate does not pass the practical exam within three years of passing the CCDE written exam, he or she must retake the written exam before being allowed to attempt the practical exam again.

Candidates who violate these policies are violating the agreement. Such conduct is strictly prohibited as described in the Cisco Candidate Conduct Policy.
